Built from cobalt high-speed steel with a nitride coating, this tap handles demanding materials including tool steel, austenitic iron, and low-alloyed casting steel. The modified bottoming chamfer allows threading closer to the bottom of blind holes than a standard bottoming tap. Overall length is 2.205 inches with a 0.433-inch thread length. It carries a right-hand thread direction, 2BX class of fit, and runs three straight flutes. Part of the EMUGE Rekord A-H series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for both blind hole and through-hole threading applications in machine shop, manufacturing, and tool-and-die environments. It excels in tapping ferrous castings such as meehanite, perlitic, ferritic, and spheroidal graphite iron, as well as harder materials like high-speed steel and tool steel. The 4-40 thread size makes it a standard choice for small-fastener tapping in instrument, aerospace, and precision mechanical assemblies. Machine tool operators and machinists running CNC or manual tapping cycles will find the straight flute geometry appropriate for shorter chipping materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt HSS construction provides elevated heat and wear resistance compared to standard M2 HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNitride coating reduces friction and extends tool life in ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eModified bottoming chamfer enables threading near the bottom of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-flute straight flute geometry suited for short-chipping and brittle materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2BX class of fit for standard UNC thread tolerance in machine threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo coolant-through design  -  compatible with flood, mist, or paste lubricant delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for 4-40 UNC threading in blind and through-hole applications across a range of materials including austenitic iron, bronze, ferritic iron, gunmetal, high-speed steel, low-alloyed casting steel, meehanite iron, perlitic iron, spheroidal graphite iron, and tool steel.

Power down the machine spindle and secure the workpiece before tool changes. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid or tapping compound for the workpiece material to prevent galling and extend tap life. Follow shop-standard feeds and speeds for cobalt taps in the target material; do not exceed the tap's rated torque capacity for the 4-40 thread size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.205 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.433 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.141 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.110 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Modified Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2BX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nitride\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOversize\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rekord A-H\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.009 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: EMUGE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: BU100501.5003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EMUGE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52065548566834,"sku":"BU100501.5003","price":61.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3ce0bcf331131ac51adb19d9b7befb2b.jpg?v=1790044933","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/emuge-bu100501-5003-4-40-unc-machine-tap-cobalt-nitride","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
